Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201 ): 10.3 - 14, mean 12.1 °C (based on 57 cells). Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01445 (0.00872 - 0.02396), b=3.00 (2.85 - 3.15), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=3; tmax=9; Fec=39). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low to moderate vulnerability (31 of 100).
